Chapter 1: Safety & Precautions

1.2 Limitations and Usage Precautions

Please read the following Limitations and Usage Precautions before using your Mvix player.

◈ While Mvix players support dozens of file formats and codec, they are not intended to work with every codec-variation. Mvix players provide limited support to standardized versions of codec as stated in the Technical Specifications of this manual.

◈ Turn off your Mvix player when connecting or disconnecting USB devices. Failure to do so may result in malfunction and/or loss of data on your USB device.

◈ We strongly recommend backing-up your data or media files stored on the Mvix-HDD. Power surge, HDD-failure, accidental deletions are common causes of data loss. Place your Mvix player away from magnetic sources.

◈◈ Mvix supports 3.5” Hard Disk Drives only. Kindly ensure that the jumper setting on your Hard-disk Drive (HDD) is set to MASTER or SINGLE before installing it in the Mvix Player. Some HDDs (depending on the manufacturer) may work with the SLAVE or CABLE SELECT (CS) jumper combination. If your PC fails to recognize Mvix as an external storage device, try changing the setting to SLAVE or CS. Do not forget to format and partition your HDD after installing it in the Mvix player. “Primary Partition” is recommended when creating two or more partitions within a single Hard Disk Drive.

◈ When connected to the computer through the USB cable the Mvix player works like an external USB storage device (During this operation, there is no video/audio playback). To resume playback mode, disconnect the USB cable connected to your PC and turnon the Mvix player.

◈ The network capability of the Mvix player is designed to work with Windows-based Operating System (OS) and its Network Sharing capability. Depending on the OS and Network environment, Network-Sharing may not work reliably. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors beyond the functionality of the Mvix player.

◈ The supplied cables and accessories are recommended for customized best performance of the Mvix Media Player. Using any other (after-market) cables or accessories may not provide best performance

◈ In order to unplug your Mvix Media Player, press the STOP button before removing cables or turning off the power.

◈ Do NOT open the unit and service or modify the basic assembly. Do NOT modify the firmware of the Mvix unit. Improper orunauthorized repair will VOID your warranty coverage.

Chapter 4: Connecting Mvix to a Network

4.1 Setting Network Sharing using Windows XP on your PC

In order to connect your Mvix Player to your local area network or to an individual PC, we need to configure the Internet Protocol on your PC:

◈ On your Win-XP PC, Click START.◈ Right-click on MY NETWORK PLACES, and◈ Select PROPERTIES

Alternatively if the “MY NETWORK PLACES” icon is visible onAlternatively, if the MY NETWORK PLACES icon is visible onyour Desktop, simply right click on the Icon and SelectProperties.

Navigate to Local Area Connection. Right click on it and left click Properties.

The Local Area Connection Properties window is displayed.Right click the Connection and hit 'Properties'. The window onthe right opens up.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click INSTALL.



Click / Select PROTOCOL and Select ADD

Select Network Protocol Window opens up as shown here.

Click the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol and click OK.

Two NWLink items are added to the connection's Properties

As shown, two NWLink items are added to the connection's Properties.

Verify that the NWlink protocol has been installed and click CLOSE.



Setting Up Folder / Drive Sharing on Win-XP PC:◈ Right-click the folder or drive that you want to share, and

then click SHARING AND SECURITY.

Tip: If you want to share your entire My Documents folder,open My Documents, and then click the UP button onthe toolbar. You can then select the My Documentsfolder.

Under Network Sharing and Security Section:

If you see a message that reads, As a security measure, Windows has disabled remote access to this computer. Click the Network Setup Wizard link and follow the instructions

If you are sharing a Drive, under the the Sharing tab, click:If you understand the risk but still want to share the root ofthe drive, click here.

Click on the warning message link to expose the sharing options. Assuming you already have your internet connection configured and firewall settings in place, you can choose the Just Enable File Sharing option (unless you already enabled file sharing previously) When you finish, your computer should


be prepared to share files on the network.


Under the Sharing tab, as shown in the picture, you can do one of the following:

◈ Share this folder on the network - This allows you to share the contents of the drive or folder available to other users on the network. Choose a Sharing name that you will like to see on your TV Display.

◈ Allow network users to change my files- This allows network users to change files over the network.

Click on APPLY and then select OK

A hand will appear under the folder icon, indicating that the folder is shared.

In Windows XP Pro, you may also need to define the users who can have access to these shared folders and files. In order to use folder sharing with Mvix, it is recommendedto provide guest access to the shared folders.

◈ Right Click on MY COMPUTER and Select MANAGE.◈ Click on the ‘+’ next to LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS.

Select USERS.◈ Note the Red ‘X’ sign next to GUEST.


◈ Double click on the GUEST account and Click ENABLE.


Disabling Windows Firewall:Network Sharing makes it possible for home and small officeusers to share the Local Area Network (LAN). In order to prevent unsolicited network traffic on this LAN, Windows XPprotects the connections via the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). ICF is automatically turned on in Win-XP (SP2). If theICF is turned on on your PC, your Mvix player may not be able to access files residing on your PC. Follow this procedure to disable it:

◈ Cli k th START b tt d li k CONTROL PANEL◈ Click the START menu button, and click CONTROL PANEL.◈ In the CONTROL PANEL, click SECURITY CENTER.

◈ In the Windows Security Center window, click Windows Firewall.

◈ In the Windows Firewall window, select OFF to disable the Windows Firewall and click OKthe Windows Firewall and click OK.

◈ Close the remaining Windows Security Center window and the Control Panel.

Remember: Turning OFF Windows Firewall is not recommended by Microsoft. Disable the Windows Firewall at your own Risk.

Troubleshooting:In certain Win-XP setups/installations, the Network Sharing procedure may not work correctly. According to Microsoft, to run Network sharing (share files, etc.) you only need one NetBIOS protocol. The NetBIOS protocols are: NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, andTCP/IP. If you have already installed IPX/SPX (previous pages), you should be fine. However, sometimes it may not work and may require installation of the NETBEUI protocol. The files necessary for installing the NetBEUI protocol on Windows XP are Netnbf.inf and Nbf.sys. Windows XP Pro does not come with the NetBEUI protocol installed. These files are available on your Windows XP CD-ROM.

NetBEUI stands for NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface. NetBEUI (NBF) is a non-routable protocol suitable for small networks. It is a simple protocol that is based on local computer names (no IP addresses like TCP/IP). NetBEUI has less overhead, so it isvery efficient in small networks (less then 10 computers), and it is actually faster then TCP/IP.


y ( ) y

NOTE: Support for this protocol in Microsoft Windows has been discontinued.


Installing NETBEUI ProtocolAs in the previous Protocol installation procedure, open the NETWORK COMPONENT TYPE window.(START -> Right Click on MY NETWORK PLACES, Select PROPERTIES. In LOCAL AREA CONNECTIONS window, Select INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) and click INSTALL).

◈ Select Protocol and Click ADD.

Select HAVE DISK - > Click BROWSE (note: NetBEUI is not on the list...yet)

Insert the Win-XP Professional CD into the CDROM –Browse to

CD drive :\VALUEADD\MSFT\NET\NETBEUI, select NETNBF.inf,

Click on the file and click Install.

Restart your computer if you receive a prompt to complete the installation.


t e sta at o

Note: In case of Windows XP Pro, you may need Administrator Access to install this protocol.
